The Ways of the Drummers.

A Maine drummer says to the Pitts
field Advertiser that the present rail.
road regulations are the best ever
made for the drummer. He said, for
instance, to an Oakland man, he
wants to 60 to Waterville from Oak
land and has 800 pounds of baggage
in two trunks. The truckman will
get one trunk checked for him; soon
after, he will go himself and get the
other one checked with his ticket, then
he will charge the firm 38 cents for ex-
cess baggage from Oakland to Water
vile. So hemakes 38 cents. Another
way-With the same baggage he buys
two tickets and gets his trunks
checked, and then he will give one
ticket to some one else and have him
go to the ticket agent and say he has
concluded to 90 some other way; so
the agent takes back the ticket and
gives him the money. In all cases the
firm and railroad are out just so
much, and the drummer is in so much.
This man didn't say that he worked
the racket this way, only it has been
done SO. Still another way is: Two
men with excess baggage will each buy
a ticket and lend to each other, so
they will each have two tickets when
they have their trunks checked, but
after they get their checks they have
only one ticket each.

Taxation OF Foreigners.
From the Boston Transcript,

From the Boston Transcript
The taxation OF foreigners residing
In France is in q measure one OF the
results of militarism. There are
about 100000 foreigners domiciled
in France who are exempt as foreign
ers from military service, and pay no
taxes directly for the support of the
army, herein being better off even than
those Frenchmen who are free from
military obligations. OF these for
eigners, not less than 100000 are
Germans, who are not only exempt
from CONSUMPTION in France, but are,
int he case OF q large number, German
soldiers on leave of absence during
peace between the two countries.
Foreigners are preferred by many
French employers, because their ten
ure Of service is not interrupted by
military duties. Thus Belgians, Swiss,
Italians and Germans have an ad-
vantage over the children of the soil
in the French labor market. The term
foreigner" has in the French law a
very different meaning from what it
has with us. A man who settles
in France without naturalizing
himself is foreigner. and so
are his children and grand. children
born in France. France has carried
the respect for foreign allegiance to the
third generation. Therefore those
who oppose q direct tax on foreigners
suggest radical reformation OF the
naturalization laws. They say that
the limit should be made closer, and
that it is an anomaly that a man
born in France the son of q man born
IN France should not be a Frenchman
By this means, they add, France
would keep the faith Of her CONNER
cial treaties, and protect her youth
subject to military duty from the
competition OF young men who are
specifically exempt from CONSUMPTION.
1t is only fair to say that France
keeps better faith than the nations
around her. Commercial treaties
provide exemption from special taxa
ton of the subjects of one country in
the other. But Germany, Sweden,
Norway, Holland, Belgium and others
compel French citizens to pay trade
fee or license annually, which is in COW
ert violation of treaty. The temper
OF the discussion preceding the passage
of the taxation bill sufficiently made
manifest the anti-German anlmus of
it's supporters.

Vegetables In England.

Leander Richardson in the Boston Herald.
In the English restaurants and at
English tables, generally, one is par
t1cularly struck with the absence of
any great variety of vegetables. There
are plenty Of meats, fowls, game, fish,
and all the rest of the solids, but OF
vegetables there Is poverty. Pota-
toes, French beans, French peas, eau
lihower, cucumbers, lettuce, radishes,
and thing they call vegetable mar
row about fill out the list. The peas
are those little, favorless things we
get in tins in America, the cucumbers
are long, thin affairs, sometimes grow
ing to a yard in length, and the let
tuce is about the sweetest and best
thing OF it's kind in the world. Then
there is that vegetable marrow! It
tastes about like what an over-ripe
cucumber should taste, having been
previously boiled, so that it might be
served hot. American peas. beans,
cucumbers, radishes and potatoes are
much better and larger and more rich
ly favored than are the articles
over here. it is all in the eli
mate, / suppose. Beans, peas
and those things come mainly
from France. Even the bulk of the
Strawberries, and at least three
quarters OF the asparagus consumed
In England, are grown in hotter coun-
tries. Corn is unknown. The potatoes
over here are generally little things
that look like English walnuts. The
Irish potato, as seen in Ireland, is g.
miserable dwarf. and the English
cousin is little or no better Sweet po-
tatoes they have none. Turnips,
parsnips, squash, carrots and the like
seldom reach the table. / believe they
grow n England but they don't seem
to be in much demand. Tomatoes
grow in lighthouses, and are costlys
Peaches, too, are either grown on
vines inside the roofs of lighthouses or
are trained up south wall. They
cost at least a shilling apiece If they
are OF any size, and they are eaten
after an elaborate degree of prepar-
alton that makes them seem doubly
valuable. Melons are non est, unless
they be especially imported from
France. And even those do not bear
any comparison to our own full-faced,
Juicy cantaloupes. The watermelon
entirely unknown. But there are such
deilcacles as green walnuts and al
monds and green figs within reach OF
easy importation, and they make up
g. good deal in the way of shortage
elsewhere.

German Agricultural Schools.

Germany makes good showing in
the provisions madefor the dissemina-
ton of agricultural knowledge. A
glance at the following statistics will
show how thorough are the means of
obtaining this knowledge. Prussia has
four higher agricultural colleges with
some eighty professorships; she has
more than forty lesser schools, all
having model farms; she has five spe-
cial schools for the cultivation of
meadows and the scientific studies of
methods of irrigation; she has one
special school for the teaching of those
who desire to reclaim swamp lands;
she has two special schools for the
teaching of those who intend to grow
Industrial nurseries, she has school
for teaching horseshoeing, one for
teaching silk raising, one for the rails
ing of bees, and one teaching the Guilt
walton of fish. Besides all these she
has twenty special schools for the edu-
cation OF gardeners and fifteen schools
for the training of those who are to
cultivate the grape.
The example of Prussia has been
initiated by the other German states.
The little kingdom of Bavaria, scarce
ly larger than Massachusetts,, has
twenty-six agricultural colleges, be-
sides more than 200 agricultural as
sociations. Wurtemburg, still small
er in area, has sixteen colleges and
seventy-six associations. Baden,
with a population of only g. million,
has fourteen agricultural colleges, be-
sides four schools of gardening and
forestry. Saxony, with its dense pop
ulation of two million, compacted in
to a space hardly larger than two
American counties, has four higher,
and twenty agricultural schools, be-
sides g. veterinary college and a. de-
partment of agriculture with twenty
professors at the University of Leip-
sic. SAKE Weimar. with population
of no more than 100000 souls, has
three agricultural colleges besides an
agricultural department with fifteen
professorships at the University of
Jena.

Cold, Thin Soil.

There are on every farm some places
where the soil is thin. It is deficient
in vegetable matter that does not
warm up until latein summer. These
places are usually on ridges exposed
to winds where no leaves or other re-
mains Of vegetation can accumulate.
They are also generally wet below, and
stagnant water in the subsoil is even
worse without than with the vegetable
matter that usually accompanies it,
Sometimes these thin soils are sandy
on the surface and clay beneath, only
needing growth of clover to furnish
vegetable matter and tighten the sub.
soil to make them productive.

Newly Planted Trees.

Fruit and other trees set early in
the spring will probably need some
attention this month. Mulching to
prevent evaporation from the soil is
better than heavy watering without
the mulch. Digging about the trees SO
far as the roots extend is also excel.
lent. 1t is, in fact, another kind OF
protection against evaporation. A
tree that gets safely through it's first
summer after transplanting will bear
pretty severe usage thereafter, but too
many barely put forth shower o!
leaves when summer heat and drought
withers and checks their growth.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.

An amusing incident is related
apropos OF the Journey which the Ger.
man Minister Won Gossler has made
through the province of Posen. En-.
tering B. school near Bromberg, the
minister observed upon the walls
portraits OF the emperor, the crown
prince and Prince Bismarck. At tine
end of the examination Herr Won
Gossler, pointing to the portrait of the
chancellor, asked who it was. There was
g. long pause but no answer. A repe.
tition OF the question brought q little
girl to her feet, and she informed the
minister that the portrait was that OF
the district commissary, whom she
recognized by the bald head.

FARM AND HOME.
Only a Beggar's Child.

All, it was but beggar's Child
a baby weak, and sick, and dying;
To ever know none cared nor smiled,
Then why should one be almost crying?
1t would have lived beggar's life,
With battles hardly worth the winning;
For food twould be daily strife
Seems best such lives had no beginning,
And yet we tried the life to save,
Our Father thought it worth His giving,
Not knowing, with the sight he gave,
Whose lite to Him is worth the living
GA spotless life,'' the angels read,
with naught of earth in it offending
While lives beginning pure may need
A heggar baby's feet in endi 6.

TWILIGHT.
BY IRENE HUNT.

Fer away the misty hill-tops
On the edge of vision lie,
Ard. amid the sunset flushes,
A throbbing planet burns on high.
Listen, While the deepening twilight
Makes the stiffness solemn seem,
And the stars come out above us,
With a tender. siIvery CLEAN.
Through the dusk there comes murmur,
Low ana Ceep and never ending,
Growing loud, then fainter heard,
With the rising nlght-wind blending.
Is it the voice of earths sad millions
Going up from every land
No, tbs the pulse of ocean, resting
In the hollow of Gods hand.
Fsthom deep there lies the stiffness
OF eternal, peaceful calm,
And the mighty heart beats ever
Uudisturbed and free from harm
Cease thy grieving. weary hearted,
A lesson learn of deep content
IT'S the ocean surface only
That with fierce, wild storms is rent.
Rest thou. also, in Gods keeping,
Ask not that thy trials cease,
But beneath the storm beRt surface
Let thy heart repose in peace.

agricultural education is marked, and
not at all fattering to our pride.
May not the fact that the average
yield per acre OF our staple crops d.
minish year by year be partially at
Uributable to the lack of knowledge of

of our farmers.
